This is the Event for our January Self Portrait Challenge: *Faceless*. What this means is create a self portrait where your face is not the focal point, or even present... use other parts of your body to make a statement this time.
Here is where you enter your ONE Faceless Self Portrait. Your photo must have been captured during this month. This Event remains open until 11:59 CST January 31st, so you have until then to create and enter your best photo from this month. (The dates on the Event are truncated, but you can submit a photo anytime, all month long.) Please read all rules (scroll down). Not adhering to rules will get you disqualified.
*Tips & Inspiration*
Your creativity will play a huge part in getting this image right - as will composition.
Thanks to Community moderator @112528921891703025888 for recommending this month's theme - he offered this article as a good read in connection with it: http://www.lightstalking.com/faceless-portrait
Moderators of the Art of Self Portraiture Community are not eligible to win, but we will also be putting our photos into the Event in the hopes that you'll be inspired.
If you have questions or need help, please pop into the Community http://goo.gl/W69Ohj and ask away! We have a category for discussion and questions and are happy to help with anything.

Much more about the Peace Day and link to all events around the world.
http://peaceoneday.org
"The International Day of Peace, a.k.a. "Peace Day" provides an opportunity for individuals, organizations and nations to create practical acts of peace on a shared date.
It was established by a United Nations resolution in 1981 to coincide with the opening of the General Assembly. The first Peace Day was celebrated in September 1982........
Anyone, anywhere can celebrate Peace Day. It can be as simple as lighting a candle at noon, or just sitting in silent meditation. Or it can involve getting your co-workers, organization, community or government engaged in a large event. The impact if millions of people in all parts of the world, coming together for one day of peace, is immense."

UPDATE: it's online now: http://youtu.be/-DItFCAg4jM
*We like to call this a "PLUS ONE PARTY"*
Because people submit links to their albums and we look through the pictures and _*we plus one the pictures we like*_ in the album.
It's my way of giving quick feedback to people about which pictures really catch my attention out of their images. It's quick and yet helpful.
Last time we looked at over 120 albums
*LIVE PUBLIC HANGOUT*
Yep it'll be a live public hangout again.
Shorter and more awesome than last time.
So if you LINK us an album make sure you know they will be on video and then on youtube. We're both really nice people and with people pictures we worry about commentary for fear they're related to you or something. But we may make commentary and you gotta be alright with that as well.
The video won't be edited when it goes onto youtube.
I'm basically saying: _*The easily offended need not apply*_
*THEME = PEOPLE PICTURES*
@109486822103622036238 and myself have a separate project going on where we're spending dozens of hours researching to find great photographers and create the most awesome list of "people shooters"
https://plus.google.com/u/0/100962871525684315897/posts/UMBDiPKJqKa
So therefore we've made the theme this time to People pictures as well because that's what mood we're in.
If you already have an album like that share it. Or maybe put together another one in the next 24hrs that you'd like us to go through.
Professional work, weddings, families, kids, selfies, street candids, models etc
*JOIN IN*
This time we'll be linking the albums and having people join us as we go through the pictures... so you may be getting a lot more plus ones (eyeballs) than normal.
*FAQ*
We won't be looking at non-people pictures even if they're in the album.
We'd rather not look at crazy large albums so try to keep them under 50 (but we can be a bit lenient)
Please submit open/public albums specially since other people than myself will be wanting to view.
Make sure you're following myself (@100962871525684315897 ) and @109486822103622036238 who'll be the moderators of the video.
We're looking for someone awesome to help out on the show and provide interesting insights about the people who's work we're looking through so we can focus on the task at hand.
*SHARE*
Let your friends who photograph people know that it's a fun and easy opportunity.
*VIEW*
Hope to see you there during the live viewing saturday night at 9pm Mountain time
We'll be using this Event as the chat log for the event.

Whatever your poison of choice is, I am hoping everyone can raise a glass to celebrate Mark Rodriguez's Birthday on Sunday Sept. 23rd. Mark will be away on a trip in wine country so I thought we could all post a photo raising a glass and toasting one of the best people on G+
Cheers !!

Welcome to The Selfy Sunday Project for Sept. 16/12

*POST YOUR GOOGLE+ ALBUM OF PICTURES*
It's been very very popular event in the past and I'm finally doing it again tonight.
_This time it will be more organized, more heads up than usual and even a live event._
*SHARE AN ALBUM/GALLERY LINK*
It's simple and easy but a lot of work and very fun for all.
You simply share an album here and I'll be going through every single one of the albums.
Then I will +1 the pictures in the album that I'm really drawn to.
*BENEFIT*
Well it's simply if you'd love to know which pictures I like most.
I always loved knowing which pictures people really love of mine because it helps me have an eye for which pictures are best received. It's a huge part of becoming a better photographer in my opinion.
_*To be able to put out great art is first to know what great art looks like*_
*ON AIR*
This will be something new... I'm going to go through all the albums Live, Online as an On-Air hangout.
I'll talk a little bit about what I'm doing.
If the show goes well I'll keep it for later viewing on YouTube... if the recording isn't great I won't.
*SPECIAL GUEST*
Because I want to have an outloud conversation about what and why I'm doing things
I will have my good friend and great photographer @109486822103622036238 on the show to facilitate the discussion.
She will also visit a lot of these albums and +1 pictures as well.
We ask that everyone add her to a circle ... not just because she's awesome (though that's reason enough) but so that if any of these albums are by mistake limited access she will have access.
*DIRECTIONS*
1. Paste a link of a Google+ image gallery
2. Put a title or description of what we'll see in the album
3. *IMPORTANT* If you post a link you hereby give us permission to use a screenshare view of all those pictures and perhaps your profile in a recorded Youtube video.
4. Make sure the album is Public access
5. Add @100962871525684315897 @109486822103622036238 to your circles
6. Return the favor. Take some of the other people's albums and +1 some of your favorites.
*IMPORTANT*
It bears repeating:
_If you post a link you hereby give us permission to use a screenshare view of all those pictures and your profile (maybe) in a recorded Youtube video._
Do not post a link if you are not ok with lots of people visiting that link in addition to us and are not ok with it being on video as well.

Welcome to *The Selfy Sunday Project* for Sept. 2/12
The Selfy Sunday Project has switched over to the GPlus "Event Mode" which should help in previous issues with the shared album format.
*There is no theme this week as we move to the event mode*
I will announce the SSP Event one week prior to the actual event time.
+LaDonna Pride will be helping along the way as our co-host. Thanks so much +LaDonna Pride .
Like always everyone is looking forward to some great Selfies.

#texturetuesday Added textures to some corn husks hanging on our porch for the holidays.“Shucked and boiled in water, sweet corn is edible and nutritious; roasted in the husk in the hottest possible oven for forty minutes, shucked at the table, and buttered and salted, nothing else, it is ambrosia. No chef's ingenuity and imagination have ever created a finer dish.” ― Rex Stout

“Colors...Would it be green or blue today?Maybe white—my favorite.A voice in the back of my mind offered no color at all as an alternative. I smothered that voice. The days of no color were simply too hard to bear. I needed color today.” ― Julie Hockley, Crow's RowSome flowers I photographed and I felt the need to color them.

Lauri invited me to be a helper in her mentorship and we are all off to a grand start !If you ever get the chance to be in a mentorhip jump in and you will have the best time learning and growing. Helping out I can't help becoming inspired and I can feel the energy moving me to get my camera out too and have fun with them all.

Tuesday I went on a very windy day to the park and this photo was one I didn't think worked but on second look I love the artistic view of these vines. Spring brings me out of the Winter woes and my heart fills with blooms!
